The Atlanta International Pop Festival was held at Hampton Raceway in July 1969. It was such a large crowd - in Atlanta! Lots of famous musicans of that day and all days performed. A great time was had by all.

We were about to leave and saw a guy in a leather jacket. Painted on the back was, “I came from England to hear Led Zeppelin!”. Somehow it impressed us enough to stay to hear the unknown Led Zeppelin close the show; amazing performance

It was midnight and Dead had played most of the songs for which they were becoming known and they stopped after about three hours. But now more equipment was added to the stage?!

Most of the musicians retook the stage to play with the Dead. Big horn section, background singers, eight drummers, a bass quintet, and Harold Kelling, Glenn Phillips, Duane Allman and Dickie Betts, Delaney Bramlett, Chicago’s guitarist, Randy California, and Jerry Garcia trading and interlacing lead lines.

Finally, came what most people deemed the number one attraction at the pop festival, Janis Joplin, a 26-year-old blues singer, Newsweek acclaimed as the first female blues superstar. However, after seeing Janis Joplin who has little control over the quality of her voice, mainly because her voice has no quality, it becomes exceedingly difficult to comprehend how on earth she ever got where she is today, more famous than Grace Slick, Joan Baez, or Judy Collins,. Nevertheless, for all the screaming and wailing dissonance, Joplin's style of vocal anarchy remains a pop phenomena.

You know, but that's valid because if we are all gonna die anyway shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now? You know, I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor insignificant preamble to something else.
